BANKER HOwELLS A LUNATIC.
The Erratic Young Man to be Placed I'm
Charge of a Committee.


Charge of q Committee.
SCRANTON, September 25.-Franklin
HOwells, the wealthy young ex-bank pres
idAnt ~ th;s n;tv 1~-Io- ~I;.'I.-~I -
lunatic, and it was directed that he he
placed in the charge of committee, who
will look after his welfare and his fortune.
Howells was brought into prominence last
March, when, after several weeks search
ing, he was found at Towanna, and dis
yorged cash, checks and valuable securities
amounting to $75, 600 to the irate brothers
of Miss Margaret Thomas, the daughter of
wealthy iron manufacturer of Pittsburg,
whom he had disappointed in marriage
engagement after all preparations for the
affair, which was to be q great society
event in the Smoky City," had been per-
fected
Col. L. A. Watres, as Miss Thomas at
torney, was also present at the Towanda
meeting, and the securities were put in
his charge. A judgement note covering
the amount of their value was also given
to secure their payment on the following
day. When some of the checks were pre-
sented for payment they were refused, and
the note was at once entered up and an
execution issued. Then HOwells friends
came to his relief, with the claim that he
was of unsOund mind, and not response
bic for his actions, and obtained an in
junction restraining the sheriff, and also
obtained the appointment of commits
sion to take testimony with a view to de-
termining whether young Howells, who
had capacity to serve AZ hank president,
was any longer capable of sound mental
reasoning.
Not six months previous to his Pitts
burgh escapade Howells had paid young
Scranton woman $4,000 in cash to heal
her wounded heart, and the rapidity with
which he was doing away with his fortune
in this way alarmed his friends. The jury
after hearing all evidence, decided that he
had been insane the past sixteen months,
aud to their report they attach u schedule
showing him still to be worth in cash and
real estate nearly 100000.
Miss Thomas did not appear nor did her
attorney make any opposition to the pro-
ceedings. 1t is understood that Miss
| Thomas claim has been amieAbly settled.
Howells' attorney will say nothing further
than that they do not expect any more in
| reference from Pittsburgh.

Mrs. Cleveland Pleased with the Artists
work-The First Cast.
WASHINGTON, September %. Mrs
Cleveland has expressed herself a. much
pleased with a photograph sent her by
Sydney Morse, the Boston sculptor, of the
statue of President Cleveland, upon which
hr. Morse has been engaged for several
weeks past. The first cast has been made
from the completed model. The frame IL
about thirty inches high, and represents
the President standing IN an easy attitude,
resting upon his right foot, with his left
hand behind his hack. His right hand
hangs easily by his side, and holds a slip
OF paper. Despite the rotundity and
stoutness of his form, President Cleve-
lands figure presents excellent proper
tons, and makes a fine statue, with many
good qualities from an artistic point.

A large crowd should witness the game
be ween the home club and Columbus
this afternoon, on the Island Ball Park,
as it promises TO be a very interesting
contest. Columbus is close after Wheel
ing for fourth place and the two last games
will decide the matter one way or the
other. If Wheeling wins one of these
games she will be safe fourth, if she
loses both it will possibly give Columbus
fourth, which the boys do not propose shall
be done. The Columbus club is in fine
shape and she comes to Wheeling after
having shut out the champions on Satur-
day and beaten them again yesterday. The
game will be called promptly at $3.50.
Handiboe will probably pitch for the visi.
